Application December 22, 1947, Serial No. 793,168 1 Claim. (01. 132 s1)One of the prime objects of the invention is todesign a fountain shavingkit, including a hollow .handle in which shaving cream is contained, andprovide means for extruding predetermined quantities thereof into thebrush as desired.

Another object is to provide a shaving kit including a plunger formedwith a floating washer for accurately and closely engaging the sidewalls of the container, thus eliminating any leakage of the shavingcream back of the plunger as the mechanism is actuated.

A further object is to design a shaving kit including means to preventsaturating and soaking of the brush bristles with the cream during theperiod the brush is not in use.

Still a further objectof the invention is to design a shaving kitincluding a cap for housing and shielding the brush bristles, which capforms a handle fora conventional razor, so that the brush, shavingcreamand razor are incorporated in a single, compact kit or item.

A further object of the invention is to provide a simplified shaving kitcomposed of few parts, all of substantial design and. construction,which can be readily and economically manufactured and assembled, andwhich can be easily and quickly cleaned and loaded.

Still a further object is to design a compact, neat-appearing shavingkit which can be readily packed in a traveling bag or case, and which isespecially adaptable for travelers, soldiers, sailors and others wherelimited packing space is available, and where it is desired to have allshaving material, etc. in a single kit.

To the accomplishment of the foregoing and related ends, said inventionthen consists of the means hereinafter fully described, and moreparticularly pointed out in the claim, the annexed drawings andfollowing description setting forth in detail, certain means and onemode of carrying out the invention, such disclosed means and modeillustrating, however, but one of the various ways in which theprinciple of the invention may be used.

i 'lis a transverse-sectional view taken on the line 'l-'| of Fig. 2.

Fig. 8 is an isometric view of the razor guard.

Referring now more specifically to the drawings in which I have shownthe preferred embodiment of my invention. There is provided ahollowhandle member I!) which can be constructed or molded of plastic or anyother desired material, the oneend being open as shown and beinginternally threaded as at H to accommodate the threaded end of the plugmember l2, which member is centrally bored as at 13 to accommodate acentrally disposed section 14 of a cap member It, said cap in turn beingbored as at Hi to accommodate the one end of a threaded stem H, which issecurely and, non-rotatably mounted therein.

A washer member I8 is mounted on the stem 11 as shown, and'a special nutI9 is threaded on the stem I1 and bears against said washer to hold ittightly against plug l2 and the centrally disposed section I4 of the capl5.

The opposite end oithe handle is shouldered as at 20, and is threaded asshown for threaded engagement with the open threaded end 2| of thebristle cap 22, this end of the handle being centrally bored andthreaded as at 23, and accommodates a preferably metallic bristle holderH, the lower end of which is threaded for engagement with the threadedsection 24 of the handle, said bristle holder comprising inner and outercylindrical sections 25 and 26 respectively, to form a concentricbristle holder, the inner end wall of which is inwardly dished orconical-shaped as shown to form a holder for the bristles B, and

protects the inner ends of the bristles from shaving cream S.

The shaving cream S is placed in the hollow portion 2? of the handle ID,the section immediately adjacent the bristle holder being shouldered andangled as at 28 to register with and lead to the cream passage P whichopens into the center of the bristle body, and I wish to directparticular attention to the fact that the inner wall of the end sectionof the handle is also conical shaped as at 28 to eliminate any shouldersor pockets in which shaving cream might lodge and dry.

A shank 30 is mounted on the free end of the bristle cap 22, and aconventional razor structure R. is mounted thereon in the usual manner,a blade guard 3| being provided and slidably engages the edges of therazor structure and is formed with a stop 32 to limit the slidingmovement of the guard.

A plunger 33 is mounted on the stem l1, and is formed with a centrallydisposed, threaded opening 34, and spaced-apart concentric flanges 35are formed integral with said plunger, a resilient washer 36 beingmounted between said flanges and is formed with an enlarged centeropening 31 so that the washer is free to float with relation to saidanges, permitting it to remain accurately centered at-all times,regardless of the I. D. of the washer, this washer being of a diameterto form a tight fit with the Wall of the container, preventing rotationthereof as the stem is actuated.

Metallic bands 38 and 39 are provided on the handle, and the upper endofth bristle cap is also preferably formed of metal, these bands beingmounted directly adjacent the open ends of the container and cap toeliminate cracking or breaking of the material of which the shell isformed, and further serving to ornament the kit.

Toload the container; the plug and cap I2 and [5 are first unscrewedfrom the handle Ill so that the stem andplunger'can be withdrawn as aunit, the cap being first rotatedto bring the plunger 33 tightlyagainstthe nut 19. The container is then-'filled with shaving cream S, afterwhich the cap and plug are again screwed in position, and rotation ofthe cap l5 forces the plunger 33-downwardly in the shell, squeezing thecream-through the-passage 25 and into the bristles'B'. The-endsof thebristles are then dipped into watc -and upon application tothe face, arich latherisquickly produced;

After the-shaving is completed, the razor is cleaned, theguard3lis-again applied and the cap 22 is'then placed over-the bristles andscrewed to position. Smallopenings 42 are provided in the bristle capfor drying-and ventilation pur- PQ Q Thedevice forms a complete kit; itprovides everything-necessary for shaving; it is neat, compact, and ofpleasing appearance; and the entire structure can be easily andeconomically manufactured and assembled.

From the foregoing description, it will be obvious that I have designedand perfected a simple, practical, inexpensive, and compact shaving kitwhich is convenient to use, which can be easily cleaned, assembled, andin which any parts can be replaced when broken or worn.
